Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS), also known as Digital Eye Strain, is a condition caused by prolonged use of digital devices such as computers, smartphones, and tablets. The strain placed on the eyes from staring at screens for extended periods can lead to a variety of symptoms, including eye discomfort, blurred vision, headaches, dry eyes, and neck or shoulder pain.
Several factors contribute to CVS, such as poor lighting, improper screen brightness, prolonged focus at close distances, and a lack of regular blinking while concentrating on digital screens. Individuals who spend two or more continuous hours a day in front of a screen are more likely to experience the effects of CVS.
Simple changes, like following the 20-20-20 rule (taking a 20-second break every 20 minutes to look at something 20 feet away), optimizing workstation setup, and using anti-glare screens can significantly reduce CVS symptoms. Our eye care specialists work closely with patients to create a personalized plan to alleviate strain, protect vision, and enhance comfort during screen use.
At Harshvardhan Memorial Clinic, we offer comprehensive care for those affected by Computer Vision Syndrome. Our approach includes recommending ergonomic adjustments, prescribing specialized computer glasses, advising on proper screen settings, and providing treatment options for dry eyes or related discomfort.
